HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music

There is a lot of info and compliments in other threads on the value of HSU subwoofers but only a couple of comments on their "Ventriloquist" package.

It seems that they offer a particularly good deal on these HT surround speakers when purchased with one of their subwoofers.

Although I hoped to use Magnepan front, rear and surround speakers, the HSU ventriloquists are considerably cheaper and very small - do I dare say conveniently Bose like? - in size.

(Obviously, I am hoping they don't sound like Bose!)

Has anyone tried them?
Any comments on sound for HT?
Music?

Although I can't imagine they would sound as good as the Maggies with really good amps etc, is it possible that, in the end, they would sound better with my HT receiver and better integrated with the HSU subwoofer?

If they are worthwhile, where is the best place to mount these little cubes?

Thank you.

For $600 retail, I like what many people used at the CES show in their video booths, and that's the Infinity Tss750 system. You should use with receiver with crossover adjustments at 100hz/125hz. But otherwise, for that money, I don't think you'll get better sound. The sub is also excellent as well for a 12" sealed sub. And for a bedroom system, it's superb.
I wouldn't concentrate on getting the best sub you thought you could find over superbly clear and detailed sat's, NO WAY!...CONTRARE! For $1000 retail, I'd go with the superb Polk system (RB...something or other???).
Good luck.
